Summary
At its Nov. 25, 2025 meeting Morgan City Council approved three items: Ordinance 25-05-15 (rezoning a portion of 330 N. 300 W), Resolution 25-27 (pole-attachment agreement with Beehive Broadband), and final acceptance of Valley Vista Estates Phase 1. All three measures carried unanimously in voice votes recorded on the record.
Morgan City Council took three formal actions on Nov. 25, 2025 and recorded each as approved by unanimous voice vote.
Ordinance 25-05-15 (Rezoning): The council approved an ordinance amending the zoning designation of approximately 1.26 acres of a 1.95-acre parcel at about 330 North 300 West from RR to R1-10. Planning staff had recommended the change and the planning commission forwarded a positive recommendation. The council recorded the vote as unanimous.
Resolution 25-27 (Pole Attachment Agreement with Beehive Broadband): Staff explained that, after Utopia purchased Beehive’s physical infrastructure, Morgan needed an updated pole-attachment agreement covering lines that still rely on city power poles. The agreement clarifies attachment rights on a space-available basis, responsibilities for any pole-capacity upgrades, and appeal language that designates the mayor or a designee to resolve technical disputes. Councilors discussed specific contract clauses (capacity upgrades, cost sharing and 30‑day removal notices) and then adopted the resolution unanimously.
Final acceptance: Valley Vista Estates Phase 1: Council accepted public improvements in the Valley Vista Phase 1 subdivision after engineers (Jones & Associates) confirmed that stormwater and other infrastructure items were repaired and operating as required. The council voted to accept the subdivision and to release any remaining escrow funds.
Votes and implementation notes: All three motions were moved, seconded and carried by unanimous voice vote as recorded in the meeting transcript. The transcript does not show a roll-call tally listing individual yes/no votes. Staff listed follow-up tasks: finalize the pole-attachment paperwork with Beehive, document the engineering acceptance for Valley Vista and return the final escrow release, and for planning staff to continue the general-plan/ordinance alignment work triggered by the council’s priority-setting discussion.
